    Vardan Mamikonian (Armenian: Վարդան Մամիկոնյան; 387[2]–451 AD) was an Armenian military leader, a martyr and a saint of the Armenian Church. He is best known for leading the Armenian army at the Battle of Avarayr in 451, which ultimately secured the Armenians' right to practice Christianity. Vardan died in the Battle of Avarayr. He was caught while watching the battlefield from a hill. The Battle of Vardanants was fought on May 26, 451 on the Avarayr Plain in Vaspurakan, between the Armenian army under Vardan Mamikonian and the Sassanid (Persian) rulers. While the Persians were victorious on the battlefield, the battle paved the way for the compact between Persians and Armenians that guaranteed religious freedom for Christian Armenians. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vardan_Mamikonian

    The French captions translate as "Abbey of St Denis at the beginning of the 19thC, before the spire burnt." and "Abbey of St Denis - Tomb of Charles of Valois, Count of Alencon, of Marie of Spain, his wife, and of Leon of Lusignan, king of Armenia."
